Built From Lived Experience,
Backed By Science
At 35, Xi Ren, Founder of Xel Consulting, lost all her hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes to alopecia areata, triggered by immense stress she did not manage well.
That experience became her turning point.
From her journey, she developed the C.A.R.E.® Framework, a science-backed operating system for human performance. When she subsequently faced two corporate restructurings and 10 months of unemployment, the framework proved its effectiveness through every setback, reinforcing its practicality and power in real-life adversity.
Today, she has equipped over 1,000 individuals across organisations in APAC, with her work recognised by multiple industry awards and featured in CNA, Tatler, and UFM 100.3.
